Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 - Rattling sound
Hi,
I recently bought this camera online. While handling it, or upon a slight shake, I can hear a rattling sound from inside as if something is loose or not properly fixed.
Is this type of sound normal for a zoom camera or have I received a defective piece. Please advise.
Thanks

How loud is the noise? It may be the lens cap, lens hood, the screen on the back.
I would imagine it is the IOS moving.
It's the IS system either moving the lens assembly or, if IS is off, keeping it centered.
With the camera off and you move it around, you can hear the IS assembly "thump" inside. It happens with my Fuji macro lens, and is a fairly common thing.
If you google 'Lumix F1000 noise', there's a few forum threads out there on the subject...

Quote:One more query please. Why is the image in viewfinder blurred while sharp in EVF?
Do you mean it is blurred in the eye viewfinder, but sharp on the rear screen?
If so, then you need to adjust the viewfinder dioptor to suit your eyes.
